Frankly, the "American people" as a whole don't know squat about this Law, and could give a sh!t less. You won't hear a peep from them. All they know is this "eliminates campaign money corruption". Besides, it's the Shopping Season.
But, raise our cable rates 3%, tack $.50 onto our ATM fees or threaten our freewheeling access to porn - and watch the fireworks!
Demonstrably, the American people no longer deserve the freedoms we have. We have come to mistake "freedom" for "license" and think every sort of evil is good. We've become too stupid, lazy and self-centered to care and this Law and is a perfect example. We will soon lose all our freedoms for good, and collectively we probably deserve that fate.
It's a shame. It's been a pretty good 200 years, but nothing lasts forever. Our Founding Fathers did well to put this all together and have it last 200 years. Unfortunately, our human nature has taken over.
"This is a sad day for the freedom of speech. Who could have imagined that the same Court which, within the past four years, has sternly disapproved of restrictions upon such inconsequential forms of expression as virtual child pornography, Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U. S. 234 (2002), tobacco advertising, Lorillard Tobacco Co. v. Reilly, 533 U. S. 525 (2001), dissemination of illegally intercepted communications, Bartnicki v. Vopper, 532 U. S. 514 (2001), and sexually explicit cable programming, United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., 529 U. S. 803 (2000), would smile with favor upon a law that cuts to the heart of what the First Amendment is meant to protect: the right to criticize the government." --JUSTICE SCALIA
Oh yeh. There was overwhelming support for it. It was suppose to get corruption money out of government.
